Kaohsiung Harbor
Immediate views of Taiwan's largest port and the iconic 85 Sky Tower upon departure.
Central Mountain Range
The towering 3,000-meter peaks of Taiwan's spine visible to the east during the initial climb.
Xiamen Island
Clear views of the modern skyline and coastal architecture of Xiamen as you cross the mainland coast.
Yangtze River Bends
The massive, winding Yangtze River as it carves through the mountains approaching Chongqing.
Chongqing Bridges
The dense 'Bridge Capital' of China becomes visible during the descent into Jiangbei Airport.
The right side is essential for seeing the Taiwan coastline. As you approach Chongqing, the sun will be behind you on a morning flight, making for perfect photography of the river. Be aware that Chongqing is often cloudy; look for the river's reflection through cloud breaks.

Ganzhou Cityscape
A bird's-eye view of the historic city of Ganzhou and the confluence of the Gan and Zhang rivers.
Hunan Highlands

Sit toward the front to avoid wing obstruction of the deep valleys in Fujian. Morning flights provide excellent side-lighting for the mountain terrain, though haze is common in the afternoon over Jiangxi and Hunan.
